Surprising that this particular aspect has been overlooked to date.

Before butter/jam/cream/marmite/whatever.

Why would you want to eat a scone “plain”? Would you just eat a plain slice of bread, or a dry Weetabix? :facepalm:

If jam first and cream on top isn’t on the menu, then an absolute favourite would be a cheese scone with a cream cheese filling. That also isn’t on your menu.

I don’t want to eat there the selections are terrible.

Caspar is right, needs to be multiple choice...

Best scone I ever tasted was at the cafe in Glamis Castle. Packed with sultanas and as big as a tea cup saucer (the scone, not the castle...feckin' eejit).

But...If I'm round at our friend's house then her Hebridean cheese scones would be my first choice. They're outstanding.

Poll needs to be multiple option.

"Best" as in the best sultana scone I've had was at Glamis Castle cafe and "best" as in the best cheese scone I've ever had is made by our neighbour.
I don't go in for plain scones and a scone with a cherry on top is an abomination.

Seemples. Well, maybe not for you....

The best plain scone, is a plain scone.
The best scone with sultanas, is a scone with sultanas.
The best scone with sultanas and glacé cherries, is a scone with sultanas and glacé cherries.
The best cheese scone, is a cheese scone.

They are all best (even one's mispronounced "skon"), so the poll needs multiple option.
Even a blithering idiot Beaker should be able to see this.

A cheese scone, rhyming with drone, is an abomination. Right up there with pineapple on a pizza.

Do we need a poll on how to enunciate ‘Glamis’?
